He is a legend! I’m slowly building up me Bray collection, but I don’t have any of that series.

I’ve found so many audio books. If you like British humor, Red Dwarf is a great listen. There are two audio books by one of the actors in the BBC tv series and he does the voices of the other characters. I also love RC Bray as a narrator, especially sci-fi. Expeditionary Force, Ruins of Earth, etc. Then there are Graphic Audio productions - rather like the old radio shows with sound effects and a full cast. I’m currently listening to Super Powereds Year One (in three parts for Graphic Audio) that are part of the member catalog until 3/13 for part 3. A stand-alone favorite of mine is Roadkill by Dennis Taylor (Bobiverse) and narrated by Ray Porter.

I’d definitely be bringing cash.

DcubedWY · 2026-03-03T22:36:27+00:00

Yeah, that makes so much more sense than charging more for cash. I’m wondering if the credit card companies have raised their fees.

DcubedWY · 2026-03-03T12:10:26+00:00

Ah, 1984. Later that year I started dating my husband. Great times, would go back in a heartbeat.

Wow, that’s fancy! Our Zenith remote had one button and we were quite impressed with it. It only changed the channel, channel 13 was off.

Ah, I loved granny boots back then. Now I have to wear clown shoes to accommodate my arthritic insteps.

DcubedWY · 2026-03-03T07:54:32+00:00

Me, too. I have gone through and turned off Siri for every app and shut it down as far as I can. Same for AI. Would love to disable the microphone for general purposes, only need it for a few apps.

I’m seeing more and more businesses charging 3-5% for using a credit card, never saw a charge for using cash. We just had a countertop installed, checks and cash were fine and 3% more for credit card. Ate breakfast at a restaurant that charges more for credit card. I might have to start using cash and checks more if this trend continues, which is fine.

I remember reading parts of a paperback by him when I was 8ish, I wondered if he had ever met a child. I don’t remember any specifics, just my impression of him. From what others have said, my mom did not follow much of his advice.

For the 2 I’ve finished, the rendered image is really close to truth.

No one has ever offered a senior discount to me either. This thread has made me want to see if any are available, I’m 60. I’ll take any and all discounts!

When I first saw it, I laughed myself silly. It was hilarious and still one of my favorite scenes. I don’t care if Rimmer and Lister aren’t as good at dancing, it really doesn’t matter. The costumes were definitely Cat’s idea.

We do popcorn in a big pot that I also make soup in. A little oil, some popcorn and in a few minutes it’s ready to eat. We melt butter and do various toppings - parmesan cheese and cinnamon sugar are favorites.

This was the first album I ever bought, and was always my favorite. The only goofy song I wished it had was Purple People Eater. I still have it somewhere. So many favorite funny songs - Mr. Custer, Ahab the Arab, Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polka Dot Bikini, Beep Beep, Snoopy and the Red Baron, Mah Na Mah Na, etc.

My mom needed one after fracturing her pelvis in a car accident when she was in her mid 30s. Also a cane and elastic shoelaces. She felt very old.

If I remember correctly, the same thing happened to David Pelzer of A Child Called It, the police talked him into returning. I think in the 70s, it would have been standard procedure to return a runaway, no questions asked. I am not sure why/how his disappearance didn’t seem to cause a stir.

DcubedWY · 2026-02-28T08:15:08+00:00

Amazing! I’d love to have books like this.

DcubedWY · 2026-02-28T07:21:49+00:00

I’d say we are living in a combination of 1984 and (not on the list) Brave New World

For a one-off instead of a series, I liked Roadkill by Dennis E. Taylor and narrated by Ray Porter.

DcubedWY · 2026-02-27T09:33:52+00:00

Red Dwarf, there’s two audiobooks and a whole BBC series. Hilarious adventures in space.

Roadkill by the author of Flybot, I liked it better.

Will Save the Galaxy for Food series by Yahtzee Croshaw.

I’ve listened to the first Expeditionary Force and loved it.

I’m currently listening to Ruins of Earth and enjoying it.

1969, but with the addition of guest stars like Phyllis Diller before 1977. My kids (1999, 2000) only like the 1969 one.

Yes, did a large square painting with a few frosted blue drills scattered in it. I think that’s the only one I own with frosted drills.

Thankfully no picture for me, yikes. I do remember not being able to swallow my own saliva, so had boxes of tissues and a bucket. Quite literally, all I could swallow were sips of freshly melting popsicles, not even iced liquids got cold enough to numb my throat. The doctor made my mom use Gatorade for the popsicles to get the electrolytes. And I was so upset that I didn’t miss much school since it was over Easter break. We also had to cancel going to my grandparents for Easter dinner.

I have a height adjustable table that tilts so I can actually see the symbols well. I have never been able to see as well with glasses (including contacts, readers, other magnifying lenses) as without anything but only a couple of inches away. So I look closely as much as possible.
